ABSTRACT:
A system and method for communicating audio data in a packet-based computer network wherein transmission of data packets through the computer network requires variable periods of transmission time. The system comprises: (1) a packet assembly circuit for constructing a data packet from a portion of a stream of digital audio data corresponding to an audio signal, the packet assembly circuit generating a position identifier indicating a temporal position of the portion relative to the stream, inserting the position identifier into the data packet and queuing the data packet for transmission through a backbone of the computer network and (2) a packet disassembly circuit, having a buffer associated therewith, for receiving the data packet from the backbone, the packet disassembly circuit inserting the portion into an absolute location of the buffer, the position identifier determining the location, the portion thereby synchronized with adjacent portions of the stream of digital audio data in the buffer to compensate for the variable periods of transmission time.
